Fruit Salad...Yummy Yummy

My daughter has always loved certain specific things from day one.  1 – Men,  2 – Music,  and 3 – Getting her way (as most kids do).  It’s no wonder that she suckers me into watching The Wiggles with her incessantly.  You can ask, “How about Dora?” She’ll shake her head most ardently “NO!”.  “Well how about Barney?”  The shake continues.  “Elmo?” ….*sigh* “How about The Wiggles?”  Holy crap!  She practically dances right out of her chair when that choice comes up.  “I’ll take that as a yes?”  You see, this show incorporates her favorite things in life – other than ice cream.  Grown men dance around singing children’s songs acting silly.  I ask you, what could be more entertaining?  How about the accent?  Ah yes, there’s something about that Aussie accent that keeps us BOTH (yes I’ll admit it) coming back for more.  Unfortunately I’m so ingrained with Wiggle Tunes, I occasionally find myself singing randomly throughout the rest of my day.  “Fruit salad…yummy yummy….fruit salad…yummy yummy…fruit salad…yummy yummy…yummy yummy…yummy yummy…fruit salad!” like a skipping record.  I’m all for repetitive verses for emphasis and memory, but I can never get that one out of my head! I’ll admit, I’ve had a few fellow grocery shoppers awkwardly "remove" themselves from the produce section while I’m serenading the apples.  So Sam, Anthony, Murray, and Jeff, (not to mention Captain “Feather”sword, because every great show must have a “safe” pirate) have become good friends of ours through the magic of youtube.  Why yes, boys, that does look like a mighty yummy fruit salad if I do say so myself!
